Which relay is used to detect the loss of excitation in generator?

A loss of field relay.


How potential relay works in refrigeration?

A potential relay operates on the voltage potential created by the induced voltage in the starting winding of the motor. It is an electromagnetic switch whose coil is wired directly in to the motor circuit. When power is applied to the circuit, the motor starts . As the motor attains its running speed the start winding acts as an auto generator and the voltage potential produced energizes the relay coil which cuts out the start capacitor and the start winding . The start winding still acts as an auto generator , however , and continues to produce enough power to keep the relay energized.


How does an automatic transfer switch work?

In a nut shell. Transfer switch senses incoming voltage (power company) through a relay. When relay drops out due to lack of voltage, contacts close and start the generator. When generator gets up to speed, second relay senses the generator's voltage and opens contactor that is connected to power company's incoming voltage. When that contactor is open, its auxiliary contact closes the generator contactor. The load side of both contactors are connected together to a load (could be a house, factory, hospital, machinery) With the generator contactor now closed the generator is supplying voltage to the load. Still with me? When the incoming (power company) voltage resumes, it energizes a timer until the power is stabilized, usually about 5 minutes. The timer contacts drop the generator contactor out, dropping the load for about a 1/4 of a second and re energises the incoming voltage contactor. The generator usually stays running up to 10 minutes to cool down and it then shuts its self off. The transfer switch is then ready for the next power failure. Some nut shell.


What is lock out relay function why it is needed?

Lock out Relay is the Master Trip relay( It is a latch relay once operated we have to reset it by manual) Which is used for Generator protection,Transformer protection,Turbine protection (Fixed in indoor Panel, Standard manufacturer only making those relays) if it operated because of any fault in above the after clearing all the fault we have to reset it by hand(normally available 110Volts or 220Volts DC).


What is excitation in generator and 2 methods each?

when the current is passing through the winding then it is called "Excitation". Types of excitation (1)seperately excited generator. (2)self excited generator. self generator is classified into 3 types. 1.shunt generator. 2.series generator. 3.compound generator. compoud generator is again classified into 2 types. 1.short shunt generator. 2.long shunt generator.

What is a reversing relay?

A reverse current relay prevents a generator from discharging the battery when generator output is less than battery voltage. When generator output is greater than battery voltage, the reverse current relay closes and connects generator to electrical bus.

What does a inhibit clutch interlock relay do?

To the best of my knowledge the inhibit clutch interlock relay will not allow the car to be started while the automatic transmission is in gear. (ie-must be in neutral or park) On manual cars there is a lockout relay which either operated the inhibitor relay or functions by itself. This is a general answer, perhaps someone has a more Nissan specific.

What is a reverse KVAR relay?

The reverse KVAR relay protects a generator from a loss of excitation. When the excitation system is lost, reactive power will flow from the system back into the generator. When this happens, induced currents at twice the system frequency will flow in the rotor windings and rotor structure.
